NAME
semind - Semantic Indexer for C .
SYNOPSIS
semind [options]

semind [options] add [command options] [--] [compiler options] [files...]

semind [options] rm [command options] pattern

semind [options] search [command options] [pattern]

semind [options] search [command options] (-e|-l) filename:linenr:column

DESCRIPTION

semind is the simple to use cscope-like tool based on sparse/dissect. Unlike cscope it runs after pre-processor and thus it can't index the code filtered out by ifdef's, but otoh it understands how the symbol is used and it can track the usage of struct members. .

SUBCOMMANDS

add generates or updates semantic index file.

rm removes files from the index by pattern. The pattern is a glob (7) wildcard pattern.

search queries information about symbol by pattern. The pattern is a glob (7) wildcard pattern. .

COMMON OPTIONS

-D, --database=FILE specify database file (default: ./semind.sqlite).

-v, --verbose show information about what is being done.

-h, --help show this text and exit. .

ADD OPTIONS

--include-local-syms include into the index local symbols. .

SEARCH OPTIONS

-f, --format=STRING specify an output format. Default: '(%m) %f\\t%l\\t%c\\t%C\\t%s' (see FORMAT below).

-p, --path=PATTERN search symbols only in specified directories.

-m, --mode=MODE search only the specified type of access (see MODE below).

-k, --kind=KIND specify a kind of symbol (see KIND below).

-e, --explain Show what happens in the specified file position;

-l, --location Show usage of symbols from a specific file position;

-v, --verbose show information about what is being done;

-h, --help show this text and exit. .

FORMAT

%m access mode in human readable form (see MODE below).

%f file name.

%l line number.

%c column number.

%C the name of the function in which the symbol occurs.

%n symbol name.

%s source code line. Indexer does not save source code lines. They are read from the file during the search. .

KIND

f function

s strict

m struct member .

MODE
The MODE is dumped as a 3-letter string. The first letter denotes address of part, 2-nd - access by value, 3-rd - access by pointer. A special value 'def' means a symbol definition.

r read

w write

m read and write .
